Looks like I'm getting lucky on one, but the one hitting Florida could be an issue when it's done kicking ass in the south.

And all those states won't be shy about asking for relief from the socialists.

While trying to deny it to democratic states, don't they want to shut the government down and fuck everybody? Trump would have treated Hawaii like Puerto Rico and forget California, meanwhile help would pour into the red south, but for white people only.

I believe you. It’s also called the Emerald coast. They call me a Yankee down here.

Theres lots of Emerald coasts around the world.
All Americans are called Yankee's down here.

There is a lot of battery research going on around the world some strictly lab stuff and other things on a more practical level and closer to mass manufacture or meant to improve the process or product. This kind of research portends big changes and lots of variety in the world of rechargeable batteries, the true mass production of which is just getting under way. There is money to be made, lots of it and car companies have bet the farm on EVs while the renewable power industry also needs them in various kinds. A lot of this new research is closer to where the rubber meets the road, with an eye towards mass production and costs, competition will eventually be fierce, between companies and battery chemistries, hopefully driving down costs like with solar panels.

Nitrate opens the door for safe solid-state lithium batteries
A collaboration between German and Chinese scientists has discovered that adding a nitrate-based additive solves issues with lithium-metal-based solid-state batteries.

How one device could help transform our power grid
As coal-fired power plants are retired, grid-forming inverters may be key to a future that relies on solar and wind power.

I thought all y’all called them Yanks. The different spelling indicates a different meaning.
brackets contain a correction: never apostrophize a plural.

13 miles down and 1000 degrees! Hot enough for you?

There's enough energy just in the very thin crust of our planet to run human society for hundreds of thousands of years. Getting to it and bringing it to the surface is the challenge. Now a new team of engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs, who were clearly Star Wars fans as children, has developed an immensely powerful 'ray gun' that can vaporise rocks down to twenty kilometres. Terrifying or very exciting? Take your pick!

Rock is a lousy conductor of heat. Initial flux levels will decline in a logarithmic manner. I wonder after how many months a given borehole will fall below viable power. Since the heat extraction process generates a thickening jacket of chilled, hard rock around the extraction lumen, I await experimental data on how long it takes heat to go through the chilled thickness.
Perhaps deep geothermal should be tried at Yellowstone. Lotta hot rock closer to the surface, and we might even steal the energy that would drive the next supereruption!

Yankee is sometimes abbreviated as “Yank.” People from all over the world, including Great Britain, Australia, and South America, use the term to describe Americans. (In Spanish, it's spelled yanqui.) Sometimes, it's a negative description.19 May 2022

No. NGS dropped the ball on this imo.
Yank has evolved to mean something quite distinct from Yankee. Yank applies to all Americans; a synonym is Septic.
Not all Yanks (in fact, way less than half) are Yankees, who hail from north of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the meridian dividing Pennsylvania from Ohio and West Virginia.
In fact, the term used to specify New Englanders but now generally includes the states of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey.
(add) Wiki has a decent writeup of the nuances.

I'm just saying what we call Americans here in OZ. Not what Americans think we call them in Oz. We call them Yankees or Yanks. We also call them Septic tanks in rhyming slang or Septics and Seppo for short.No. NGS dropped the ball on this imo.

I see. It’s kinda strange that in my own country a Yankee is calling me a Yankee. It’s funny, because if some of these southerners went to your country they would be called a Yankee. I wonder how that would sit with them. Lol. I can just hear it now, “ I ain’t no Yankee, baby doll.”
Since being here I have been called some odd things like baby doll and little girl. Lol. These are some of the goofiest people I have ever met.

If those solutions/dreams were implemented 40 years ago in every industrialized nation on the planet, we might have made it.
How To Get the USA to Net Zero Carbon — Information is Beautiful
Affordable, Do-able, Possible, Inevitable?informationisbeautiful.net
I doubt that even today, the with the development and incorporation of noncarbon based means of energy supply just in the US alone, would be in time to offset the effects of climate change.
These solutions would have to be implemented world wide, not just the US.
It will probably take 100 years for even China and India alone to accept those solutions and implement them efficiently, and asking/expecting the developing nations to comply is a pipe dream.
By the time the entire planet, not just in the US, where a current presidential candidate insists that the real villain is Green ideology/technology and not the burning of fossil fuels, enacts the aforementioned solutions there will be no hope of survival and that is a consensus among most scientists today.
So, I have to agree with the ones in the poll that checked the we're fucked box.
It really seems to be inevitable, at least to me.

Very poorly. I am not a southern pride guy but getting called Yankee still pisses me off. I get it though I do speak with a lisp that make me sound like I'm from the north east
